Paging
Availability: All versions.
Paging lets extension users broadcast announcements to other keyset users and to external Paging
speakers. Paging allows a user to locate a co-worker or make an announcement without calling each
extension individually. There are two types of Paging: Internal Paging and External Paging.
Internal Paging
Internal Paging allows extension users to broadcast announcements into 7 internal Paging Zones
and All Call (all zone). When a user makes a zone page, the announcement broadcasts to all exten-
sions assigned to the specified zone. If the user makes an All Call announcement, the announce-
ment simultaneously broadcasts to extensions in all zones. All Call Paging automatically overrides
any zone pages already in progress. A system timer can optionally limit the duration of Paging
announcements.
To simplify Paging access, a keyset can have Programmable Function Keys assigned as Page keys.
External Paging
When a user pages into Internal All Call Page or Internal page Zone 1, the system simultaneously
broadcasts the announcement into the External Paging Zone. In DS2000, access to the external
zone is via pins on the CPU’s 8-pin mod jack. In DS1000, access to the external zone is via the
AUDIO jack in the main equipment cabinet. Refer to the system Hardware Manual for additional
installation details.
Page Relay Support
Paging can activate system relays. In DS1000, Paging can activate the relay contacts in the DOOR1
and DOOR2 jacks. In DS2000, Paging can activate a single relay located on the CPRU.
